HENRY WARD BEECHER ON LIFE
ASSURANCE.

In life assurance there are no risks or contin-
gencies. Other Investments may fail. A house
may burn down, banks may break and other in
yestments be worthless. Bonds and mortgages
may be seized for debt, and all property or ey-
deuces OF property, may fall into the bottomless
gulf of bankruptcy. But money secured to your
family by life assurance will go to them without
fail or interruption, provided you have used due
discretion in the selection Of a sound and hosor-.
able assurance company. Of two courses, one
Of which may leave your family destitute, and
the other of which assures them a comfortable
support at your decease. can there be q doubt
which is to be chosen?
HENRY WARD BEECHER.
When the Equitable Life Assurance Society of
the United States, was q comparatively young
company, and had not surpassed its chief conn
petitors which had been in existence for many
years before the Eauitable's organization, the
late Henry Ward Beecher took a policy with the
Society. After paying the premiums for many
years. he has now left the assurance to his wife
as a part of her inheritance.
Since those early days the Equitable Society
has outTun every competitor and to-day may be
Justly regarded as the largest and strongest or
ganization Of its kind in the world

A. HoUGHToN CORRESPONDENT of the
Minneapolis Evening Journal re-
marks that "the policy which the
Calumet & Hecla has pursued for sew
eral years of selling lake copper at
half a cent to a cent below market
price presumably to crush its western
competitors is having q very disas-
trous effect on western Michigan
mines. As it is now several mines are
running at a loss The Calumet and
Hecla, Tamaract and Quincy are the
only mines which can run at any
great profit, with lake copper selling
at the present price" The selfish
of the Calumet and Hecla is
thus creating hostility at its own
doors. It should be content with less
than the entire earth.

THE BUFFALO,

The impression is very general in
Minnesota that the buffalo is al
most extinct. One might expect to
e some artist depict the "Last Buf-
falo'' as a noble beast looking de-
family over the vast plain where
thousands of his race had trod. 1t
appears, however, that on the road to
Major Romans Indian realm at Flat
head lake, Charles Allard and. an In
dian a few years ago resolved to raise
a herd of buffaloes. They began with
four calves, two bulls and two heifers
and have now fifteen head which are
rather tame for they run with cattle.
Mr.. Allard and his Indian partner are
raising them for speculative purposes.
It may be that the buffalo will hold
his own after all and that Montana
will have had the credit Of saving the
monarch of the plain from extinct
ton.

PROTECTION.

There is a strong determination in
this city to put down ~lawlessness of
all kinds and render 1t too hot for
those vultures who prey on the indus
try and thrift of the hardy settler.
More has been said on this subject
than we care to report, for there are
persons and newspapers always ready
through malice or foolishness to ex-
aggerate such matters, especially
when a young Montana town is con
cerned. Enough has been done,
however, to convince land=jumpers
and ranch-thieyes that the people are
a unit in resolving that such knayery
must stop. The lack of a city gov
eminent renders such vigilance nee
essary. Fortunately the city has
plenty of resolute men to enforce Or
der, even when the horde which fol
lows the railroad builders arrives
here.

II GLORIOUS FOURTH.

Everything is. now ready for a
grand celebration in this city on the
Fourth of July. It will be a celebra-
ton that will fill with enthusiasm
every patriotic heart, and will do
honor to northern Montana which is
now elated with the prospects of the
grand destiny that awaits her as the
center of a great railroad system that
will promote rapidly the development
of this richly endowed region.
The committees have undertaken
the work with patriotic ardor, and
have prepared a programme that will
attract people from the valleys of the
Missouri, the Marias, the Teton and
the Dearborn. The list Of amuse-
ment~ contains something to crafty
every taste, and provides lots of fun
for the visitors as well as our own
people. There will be boat and sack
races as we'll as foot and hose races.
The entries for each will be large and
the purses liberal. There will be also
logrolling contests, and many other
minor attractions. The music of the
splendid military band from Fort
Shaw will impart animation to the
scene, and the festivities will conclude
with the grand hop at the Park hotel
and a brilliant display of fireworks.
It only remains for the people of
Great Falls to spread the news far
and wide in order that all northern
Montana may be well represented. J

peace. France distrusts this agree
ment and hints that some Doodle
has been used with the Sultan's min
listers. The agreement will probably
be ratified by the powers and Mr..
Gladstone will not have this trouble
some question to settle when he be-
comes premier. Had he proposed to
abandon Egypt, Tyndall and others
would doubtless have raised the cry
of treason as they do when he advo-
Gates home rule for ireland.

INCORPORATION.

W. print to-day the principal pro-
visions of the general incorporation
act, passed by the last Legislature. It
is generally admitted that the act
needs amendments, but it is better
than none. At the special session the
legislature may make some amend
ments which would render the act
nearly as good as one of those special
charters which congress says shall not
be passed in the territories. The
need and nature Of such amendments
may be best determined BY giving the
act a trial.
It is very clear that the act does not
please every one. Thus the Helena
Independent hints at some concealed

square miles must be allowed for the
are of this coal field, subject Of
course to the reductions necessary in
the amount of coal available by rea-
son OF faults, dykes, etc.
1.-THE coal area of Sand Coulee is
nearest the town of Great Falls, the
distance from the nearest mines to
Black Eagle falls being about seven
miles. The Sand Coulee mines have
been well tested as to quality and
thickness the past two years, and the
result has been to show permanency
Of thickness Of vein, a uniform quality
of coal, and an accessibility hitherto
unknown in the coal fields of the ter
ritory.
without exception Sand Coulee and
Belt river excel all other coal areas in
the territory by the accessibility Of
the vein, the regularity of the de-
posts, and the marked absence of
thick bands of ligneous shale,so char
acteristic Of other places. This would
signify a deposition little altered by
terrestrial disturbances, and in place
Of abnormally thick deposits of i'm
pure Ignite, as is shown at the Goose
bill, Knees, Bulls-head, etc, we find
solid bodies of bituminous Goals near
the upper part of the vein, an excel
lent article Of steam coal in the CEN
ter, with bituminous coal again be-
low.
'sThe coal measures ofSand Coulee
are oyerlaid by the finest strata Of
building materials to be found in the
northwest, and it attains its greatest
thickness and excellence in the neigh
borhood of the city of Great Falls.
Not only do we find building stones,
but also cements, ~plastering and
various other clays, and all other ma
terials required for the building up
of large city"
The Northwest Magazine should
beware of the Northern Pacific ex-
perts." It has been the policy of
that company to cry ssour grapes" in
regard to northern Montana and Great
Falls ever since the Manitoba line
occupied the northern route and made
the boldest'stroke in railroad strategy
ever known in the northwest. Under
the false assumption that Montana
was part of its territory" the North
ern Pacific would have excluded other
roads and built no branches itself,
had not the Manitoba's advance
spurred it into activity. If any
Northern Pacific experts" examined
the Sand Coulee field they opened no
mines Or workings which would have
enabled them to report intelligently
on the deposits. When a spur of about
ten miles connects Great Falls and
the Montana Central with the fields,
and trains come here laden with coal
for Butte and elsewhere, the absurdi-
ty of the experts" statement will be
very clear. Such traffic may be
looked for next fall.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1887-1890, 1887-06-18

The. LEGISLATURE SHOULD at the
special session, make provisions for
an immigration bureau that would
make known throughout the country,
the great resources of Montana,
Without such information people
will continue to pass through this
territory to seek homes on the Pacific
slope. The territory should cooperate
with the railroads in opening up the
country.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1887-1890, 1887-06-18
dangers which it ought to make pub

lie. 1t says:
Philipsburg is p%etitioning for ineorpora-
ton under the new municipal incorpora-
ton act. Let the Independent advise the
people Of Philipsburg to avoid tampering
with that act. Their town is a growing
ana important one, where popular govern
ment and an honest municipal administra-
ton are boons that should be sought, not
Wilfully avoided. Let some other town
experiment with that act if it wants to and
thinks it can afford it.
Despite such warning Philipsburg
seems likely to incorporate very
speedily. The town fears an incursion
of laWless people when the railroad
is completed, and has other needs as
may be judged from the following
statement of the Mail:
It would be an endless task to enumer-
ate he advantages which incorporation
would bring to the town of Philipsburg
IN the street improvements, the badly
needed police regulations, precautions
against fire, and those ~innumerable mat
tiers which being e%verybody's business is
nobody's business, and which it would
then be the special duty Of the board of
aldermen to regulate and rectify. The
offices OF mayor and alderman being I'M
salaried, the expense to the citizens would
be no greater than for the present un-
satisfactory method of government, and
would undoubtedly be more than met by
the fines that would flow into the city
treasury from the violations Of law which
now go UNPUBLISHED.
The benefits of the law clearly out
weighs it's defects. After all, good
civic government depends on the
people themselves The most elabor-
ate charters will not prevent fraud or
disturbances il the officers are dis
honest or the people lawless. On the
other hand, law-abiding, intelligent
people, such as we have here, can get
along very well with a simple charter,
such as the new law provides. Such
has been the experience of many
western cities which are now large
and prosperous.

GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY, JUNE Is, 1887.
WALTER M O'DwYER, EDITOR.
THE COAL DEPOSITS.

It Is currently reported in Montana that
the Central railroad will not cross the
Missouri at Great Falls, but will build on
the north bank all the way to it's junction
with the Manitoba. IF this Is correct it
means that there is no coal at Sand Coulee
worth going there for. A great deal has
been written of late about the beds OF
coking coal In Sand Coulee, about
eighteen miles from Great Falls, and the
Manitoba railroad people have made a
strong point OF these deposits, which they
argued were destined to afford coke for
Butte and ultimately to build up a smelt-
ing industry at the falls. The Northern
Pacific management had this coal field
examined before the Manitoba heard of it
and the result was not favorable. Accord
ing to the N. P. experts the coal is only a
fair Ignite, lying in small pockets.-NorA-
soest Magazsne, st. Paul.
The above paragraph makes wrong
deductions. The Manitoba line was
always intended to approach Great
Falls along the west bank of the Mis-
souri,. It would have been a topo-
graphical absurdity to have done
oterhwise. At the other side of the
river the Manitoba railroad with its
depot and machine shops, will be as
much part of the city as if it were on
Central avenue. Coal or no coal,
that would have been the proper loca-
ton, and is the one best adapted for
the business interests of the city.
The Montana Central will cross the
Missouri at Great Falls, and will be
built within the next four months to
the coal mines of Sand Coulee, ten
miles distant.
As regards the Sand Coulee de
posts, actual workings show that the
eoalranges from eight to twenty feet in
thickness and is practically inexhaus-
tibIe. The vein of coking coal varies
from two feet to five in thickness. The
Sand Conlee coal is pronounced by coal
MISUNDERSTANDING whom Prof. New
berry may be mentioned-as true BIZ
luminous coal, and all the people in
this section car testify to it's excellent
quality.
Prof. Morrison, whose opinion is
founded on actual knowledge and
should outweigh that of the Northern
Pacific experts" said last December
on this subject:

prises three areas, viz: Sand Coulee
Belt Creek and Smith River.
esThese areas, however, are only ar
tifeial, being caused by each locality
being q nucleus for location Of
mines, but all three areas show the
same vein, same characteristics
OF deposit, and are also connected
regularly together, the outcrops of
the coal being easily distingushable
the whole distance.

HANDLING LEAF TOBACCO.
The Appraiser Suggests a New Mod,
of Classifying 1t.

Tho Appraiser Suggests a New Mode
OF Classifying 1t.
The Treasury Department has received
several letters in regard to the practice pre-
vaillng at the port Of New York Of examln-
ing and classifying leaf tobacco of the
wrapper ciass, which practice is based upon
departments decision Of Feb. 8, 1886, re-
quiring that leaf tobacco shall be thor
oughly examined by the appraiser In order
to determine Its proper classification. The
appraiser reports that owing to change In
the character OF certain leaf tobacco now
imported, whereby some Of the contents Of
each bale is liable to duty Of rs cents a
POUND and the remainder at only IS cents a
pound, the classification cannot be deter
mined by an inspection of the bale, and that
an actual asserting Of the ''hapds" con-
tanned in the bale to determine
the proportion Of fine and
heavy leaf would be almost destructive to
the merchandise. He, therefore, suggests
that a proper classification can be reached
by drawing Unfortunately not less than
ten "hands," or more, II in the judgment
Of the examiner the same be necessary,
from each representative bale, separately
counting ana weighing these hands, and
taking the proportion OF light and heavy
"hands" so found for the purpose of de-
termining the proportion for the whole
bale or lot. Assistant Secretary Maynard
has approved the appraisers suggestion,
and the customs officers at New York have
been instructed to carry 1t into effect In fu-
ture impOrtatiOns.
